I just bought a Acer laptop and it uses Google Chrome OS. How do I download Norton onto my computer? Says I need to update, but my updates are up to date. Im not a computer person, so if someone can walk me through how to load or update this.
I assume you have a Norton Account which is required. You need to register your product registration number enclosed with purched product.. Once that is done, from inside your account should be a ‘Download’ button. Pressing that should download an installation .exe file, run that and should install as with any other app. Rum Live Update a couple of times with a computer restart between. Once fully installed go thru’ all the settings and adjust accordingly. Beware though, various module such as Sofware Updater are ON by default, that needs turning off as can be troublesome.
All: Google Chrome OS is not supported by Norton because it is a proprietary operating system.

To install Norton 360 on a Chromebook, you’ll need to download it from the Google Play Store. First, ensure you have the Google Play Store app installed on your Chromebook. Then, open the Play Store, search for “Norton 360,” and select the app. Finally, tap “Install” to download and set up Norton 360 on your Chromebook.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Ensure Google Play Store is installed: Chromebooks typically come with Google Play Store pre-installed, but if not, you’ll need to enable it.
Open the Play Store: Locate the Play Store icon on your Chromebook’s launcher or taskbar.
Search for Norton 360: Use the search bar within the Play Store and type “Norton 360”.
Select the Norton 360 app: Choose the Norton 360 app from the search results.

Important Notes:
While Chromebooks can run Android apps through the Play Store, Norton 360 might have some compatibility issues or limited features compared to a full-fledged Windows installation.
Norton also offers a browser extension called Safe Search, which can be installed on Google Chrome and other browsers. This extension provides additional protection while browsing the web.
